IV. PROVISION OF CITY SERVICES <br /> A. Public Works <br /> No expenditure of funds by the City will be required to provide <br /> capital improvements due to the developer providing streets, street <br /> lighting, sewer facilities, water facilities and stormwater <br /> drainage facilities within the Annexation Area. <br /> Water lines of sufficient size and capacity are available from <br /> both Ironwood and Inwood Roads. Sewer lines are also adjacent to <br /> the Annexation Area. The wastewater treatment and collection <br /> systems can provide service to the proposed area without any <br /> additional expenditures by the City. <br /> The City also can provide solid waste collection services to the <br /> Annexation Area without additional equipment or personnel. <br /> B. Police Protection <br /> The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15 . Police officials do <br /> not anticpate that the addition of the development will increase <br /> signifcantly the call for police services. Routine patrol and law <br /> enforcement can be provided without hiring additional officers or <br /> purchasing additional equipment. <br /> Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will <br /> be a part of the services the City will offer to the Annexation <br /> Area. Police protection will be furnished to the Annexation Area <br /> within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation. <br /> C. Fire Protection. <br /> The Annexation Area is located approximately 2 .6 miles from South <br /> Bend Fire Department Station Number 10 at 308 West Ireland Road. <br /> Additional Fire Department units will respond, including engine <br /> Number 8, which is located at 2402 Twykenham, approximately 2.0 <br /> miles from the Annexation Area. Response times will be comparable <br /> to other areas of the City. <br /> The Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection <br /> problems related to the proposed development. The Fire - <br /> Department's final approval of the project will require examination <br /> and approval of the site plan, including the location of any fire <br /> hydrants. No additional equipment will need to be purchased or <br /> personnel hired to provide fire protection to the Annexation Area. <br /> The long range plan, already in place, provides for a continual <br /> review of the needs for additional personnel and equipment for all <br /> areas of the City. Relocation of Station Number 10 nearer to the <br /> southeast side of South Bend is also being considered. <br /> -2- <br />
